A group of matched non-stunted children (n=32) was also included. The supplement comprised 1 kg milk-based formula per week for 2 years and the stimulation weekly play sessions at home with a community health side. The children’s development (DQ) was assessed on the Griffiths mental development scales.enstunted childrennutritional supplementationpsycho-social stimulationmental developmentchild developmentArticle
